4:02 am
alive. the al qaeda-linked group that claimed the facility had been planned for some two months. in both assault, the algerian army, using tanks and helicopters, found the terrorists were heavily armed and prepared to fight to the death. one official described the aftermath as carnage. hostages who escaped or were freed, said the terrorists only wanted westerners or americans, and were brutal in the treatment of some. >> it happened so fast. >> we were lucky that we are still alive. >> reporter: another worker said he escaped as the terrorists tried to drive them to another location. and the algerian army opened fire on the convoy. american officials urged the algerians to go slow, out of concern for the safety of the hostages. >> they didn't let the terrorists dig in. they didn't negotiate. they moved quickly. >> reporter: the attack has led the u.s. and its allies to marshal resources, to track down the alleged mastermind, this man, mokhtar belmokhtar, who has
4:03 am
safe haven in mali, 1,000 miles away. french military aircraft were already active here, even before the algerian attack. according to abc news correspondent, bazi kanani in the capital. >> reporter: there's much relief here in southern mali, now that more international help is coming in. one of the first targets for the french warplanes that arrived a week ago, was the headquarters of the leader of the terror group involved in the algerian hostage crisis. the u.s. said it won't send troops into mali. but it is sharing intelligence with france. and by monday, the u.s. air force will be helping to fly in french troops and equipment. >> reporter: u.s. officials say they will work with the french and others to make sure belmokhtar pays a price. >> those who would wantonly attack our country and our people, will have no place to hide. >> reporter: details about exactly what is happening this morning at the facility remains
4:04 am
very sketchy. not only to reporters who are being kept about 20 miles away. but also to government officials in london, washington and paris, who encourage algerians to make the safety of the hostages their first priority. >> wonder if there's tensions between the american government and the algerian military this morning. brian, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> get information back. brian, thanks. we turn, now, tonight two of lance armstrong's public confession to years of cheating, doping and lying to the whole world about it. armstrong began to break down when he talked about his family. abc's neal karlinsky has been all over this story from the very beginning and joins us with more. neal, in many ways, this seemed to be the more compelling of the two interviews. >> reporter: it certainly was. good morning, bianna. over the course of two nights there was plenty of evidence that armstrong's ability to lie is still on display. but there was one moment when the person behind the attitude and the image broke through. >> incredible. unbelievable. >> reporter: when you peel away all the lies, the cheating, the
4:05 am
cover-ups and bullying, lance armstrong is also a father. and that's side of this complicated and deeply-flawed man revealed the betrayal to his family. >> when this all started, i saw my son defending me and saying, that's not true. what you're saying about my dad is not true. i told luke, i said -- i said, don't defend me anymore. >> reporter: it was a painful glimpse into a man who apologized repeatedly for his big lie. and yet, somehow feels that his lifetime sporting ban is unfair. never mind the fact that he ignored fair play at every turn. >> i deserve to be punished.
4:06 am
i'm not sure that i deserve a death penalty. if you're asking me, do i want to compete again? and answer is, hell, yeah. i'm a competitor. it's what i've done my whole life. i love to train. i love to race. i love to tow the line. >> reporter: armstrong told oprah he's now in therapy and that he sees how, in his words, sick his actions sometimes were. >> this is heavy. and this is messy. and this is not something that i can sit with you and leave and go, okay. we're all good. >> reporter: and it isn't just some old version of himself. that arrogant twitter photo, boasting of his tour wins, even after he had been stripped, was just two months ago. >> that was more defiance. >> more defiance. >> you know what's scary, i actually thought it was a good idea. >> reporter: he acknowledged that his ex-wife, kristen, knew of his cheating. and encouraged not only to stop but to come clean. he never did, until he lost
4:07 am
everything, and was backed into a corner. >> will you rise again? >> i don't know. i do not know the outcome here. >> reporter: so, what now? well, we know he is sporadically in therapy, he says. he's in hawaii where he continues to train and play golf. there are reports this morning that a movie deal about his epic fall is now in the works. quite a story, dan and bianna. >> apparently j.j. abrams looking into making that movie. thank you, neal karlinsky, who has been covering this story for years. with us, now, one of lance armstrong's former teammates and friends, tyler hamilton, who himself has admitted doping. he wrote a book about it, called "the secret race." thank you for being here. you saw lance get emotional in that interview. do you buy it? >> it's a first step. it's a first step. he's coming clean. he's telling the story that he has taken performance-enhancing
4:08 am
drugs. >> do you think it was genuine emotion that we saw? >> i think so. it's new for him. it's a new process. i went through the same process on a much smaller scale. you know, it's going to get easier for him. i think he's going to open up even much more. you know, i think we saw a lot of the truths. maybe not the whole truth. >> telling his son to stop defending him now. 13-year-old son. was that real emotion? you've known him for so many years. as a parent, was he telling the truth? >> the one thing, and i think a lot of his exteammates said yesterday, for me and guys like frankie andreu, we've never seen lance -- i've never seen him shed a tear in my life, until last night. shown very little emotion. before i heard one word on thursday night from him, i could tell he was a broken man. >> really, really interesting, that perspective you provide there. he specifically brought you up last night and said you were one of the many people he needs to apologize to. he has attacked you for writing
4:09 am
the book. and he said you were greedy and just doing it for the money. are you ready for that apology? will you accept it? >> i don't need an apology from lance. i'm in a good place in my life. i moved forward. i'm no longer angry at lance. you know, i moved on from that. i'd rather he spend the time with his children or with betsy andreau, or emma o'reilly. these are the people he destroyed. they're still suffering today. i feel lucky and fortunate i moved on from this. it's a tragic story. i'm sorry that i was involved in all this. yeah. it's not nice to see all this. >> and he's admitted to a lot of things these past two days. but one thing he's adamant about, he came back in 2009, a clean man. do you buy that? many people don't. >> i can't really be the judge of that. the jury's still out on that one. but again, the important thing
4:10 am
is he's started this process. he's opened up. he said all seven tours, he took performance-enhancing drugs. the question is, where does he go from this? he needs to go and name names. he needs to come fully clean and tell travis and usada, where the bodies are buried. >> he said he should be allowed to compete again. do you agree? >> i agree only if he comes 110% clean. tell all of the names, from day one when he started doping, who provided it, all the way to the end. >> tyler, thank you very much. >> thank you. that must be some sense of closure for you. >> it's hard to see lance going through this. i don't like to see anybody suffer like that. >> a man with lance armstrong, up close and personal for many years.
4:11 am
tyler, thank you very your time. >> great to see tyler move on with his life, as well. >> indeed. and ron claiborne with the other stories this morning. >> good morning to you, bianna and dan. good morning, everybody. we are halfway through the flu season. it appears the worst may be over in most states. federal health officials say this year is more severe than average. and the elderly have been particularly hard-hit with a spike in hospitalizations in recent weeks. the flu is widespread in all states, except tennessee and hawaii. but flu is easing for most of the country, except the far west. and lawmakers in washington seem to be on track to avoid another standoff on the nation's debt ceiling. top republicans say they will now vote next week to raise the government's borrowing limit for another three months, without demanding immediate spending cuts. they are hoping the move will get democrats involved in the deficit reduction debate by passing a budget by april. and former new orleans mayor, ray nagin, who promised
4:12 am
to crack down on corruption, has been indicted on corruption charges. nagin is facing 21 counts, including wire fraud, aun money laundering. mark greenblatt has this story. >> reporter: indicted for construction. the one-time former rock star mayor of new orleans, stands accused of what he campaigned against. >> this state and this city, is saying to the old-line politic toes, we're tired of the games. >> reporter: it's a striking fall from grace for ray nagin, as the justice department indicts him for awarding lucrative contracts and kickbacks in vacation hot spots. he's accused of pocketing more than $200,000 in describes. and the indictment even charges nagin for trying to pocket cash for himself, as the city struggled to recover from hurricane katrina. he awarded a contract for
4:13 am
sidewalks. and the next day, a business family member paid nagin a kickback. one of the many allegations now lodged against the man, famous for deciding the federal response to the storm. >> get off your. and let's do something. and fix the biggest crisis in the history of this country. >> reporter: now, it's the federal government that may have the last say with the former two-term mayor of new orleans. it could be several weeks more before we get the autopsy results for the chicago lottery winner who was fatally poisons with cyanide. the body of urooj khan was exhumed on friday, to help solve the mystery around his death. he died in july right before collecting his winnings. police have not named a suspect. and the full-body scanners at airports, may soon be removed. the tsa say the scanners, which show a revealing image of a passenger's body, will be gone by this coming june. the company that makes them could not come up with a way to
4:14 am
protect people's privacy, as required by a new law. a second type of full-body scanner that does not produce the vivid images will still be in airports. and finally, an amazing rescue from a burning building. take a look at this video here. as this firefighter in russia, gets hit with a chunk of snow. a huge chunk of snow, almost knocking him off the ladder as he climbs to try to save a family. somehow, he grabbed the ladder to break his fall. it didn't happen twice. that's a replay, by the way. another firefighters pulls him up. together, they were able to rescue the baby and its mother. >> good job. well done. >> that's all i know. >> the pop quiz. >> thank you. >> language lessons and the news. ron claiborne gives us the whole picture every morning. thank you, ron. appreciate it. it is the biggest event in washington. it happens once every four years. the countdown to inauguration is on. >> when president obama takes the oath of office on monday,
4:15 am
the inaugural celebration will be nothing compared to what it was back in 2009 when he was sworn in. abc's david kerley is in washington with more. good morning, david. >> reporter: bianna and dan, this is my third one. it gets cold every time the president gets ready to take the oath. while the weather is going to be the same, this is going to be a much different celebration than the one four years ago. ♪ the barricades are up. the viewing stands, built. the finishing touches going on floats. members of the military have already practiced parading. >> i -- >> reporter: and he's ready to take the oath a second time. ♪ at last >> reporter: beyonce and james taylor will perform. but this will be a very different affair. four years ago, 1.8 million people filled the mall. less than half that number, just 800,000, are expected this year.
4:16 am
four years ago, nearly every one of the 29,000 hotel rooms here were booked. 7,000 rooms are available this morning. only two inaugural balls, versus ten four years ago. all after an expensive campaign, a tough economy and four years. >> just the moment that that was for the country, the first african-american president. and it was new for everyone. but you know what? there still is a level of excitement despite the numbers. >> as we move down pennsylvania avenue. >> reporter: already fortress d.c. is taking shape, a lockdown, as the president talks to historians about hitting the right tones in what will be his last inaugural address. despite the fact this is going to be a much smaller affair, it's going to be a lot of excitement, as anita mcbride said. the number of people, nearly double who came to the second inaugural for president bush and president clinton. >> still, that remarkable drop-off from the last time.
4:17 am
david kerley, thank you very much. stay warm. and our special coverage of the inauguration starts tomorrow on "gma." and abc news live coverage of the ceremony on monday, starts at 7:00 eastern, with george stephanopoulos and josh elliott co-anchoring. >> busy monday morning. we're going to switch gears now. we're three days away from the start of a smalltown case that's transfixed the nation. with the trial about to beginning, an alleged business partner is speaking out about a zumba instructor in maine accused of running a prostitution ring. john schriffen joins us from kennebunk in maine. >> reporter: mark strong, to start on tuesday. but before he steps inside the courtroom, facing charges of solicitation and invasion of privacy, he wants to set the record straight. for the first time we're hearing from the man accused of helping to run the zumba prostitution
4:18 am
ring in this small town in maine. he bankrolled the studio so alexis wright could teach workout classes. >> we had a friendship. we talked often. i may see her once a month. >> reporter: the scandal unraveled this past fall, when kennebunk police raided the office, confiscating detailed records, hours of videotape, and what's now known as the list. more than 100 names of clients who allegedly paid wright for sex. police are making those names public. >> i thought she was a little -- not risque. but flirtatious at times. >> reporter: a father of two, strong also admits, he had a sexual relationship with wright. >> never became romantic. >> reporter: it was just physical? >> it was strictly physical. >> i have no comment. >> reporter: wright has been charged with more than 100 counts of prostitution, violation of privacy, and tax evasion.
4:19 am
the indictment also alleges that wright secretly recorded over 100 hours of video with her clients, something strong denies knowing about. he denies any wrongdoing. but he says, he will spend the rest of his life apologizing to his wife. >> i'm sorry for any dishonesty, for the intimate relationship that i had with alexis wright. >> reporter: as for alexis wright, the accused -- the alleged zumba prostitute, her lawyer says she's innocent. wright will have her chance to tell her side of the story when her trial starts in may. dan? bianna? >> not the attention that small town wants. thank you, john. time for a check of the weather and over to ginger zee. hey, ginger. >> hey, guys. it's been four years since minneapolis last had a high temperature below zero. they're going to do it on monday. a whole lot of arctic air is blasting into the great lakes. minneapolis will go three below. chicago today, 44.

4:30 am
father said about the mere idea of the country music superstar dating his son. >> that's up in "pop news." but we're going to start with manti te'o, the notre dame star, all the while, telling the emotional story how he lost his grandmother and his girlfriend within six hours. >> except the girlfriend, who was said to have died of leukemia, was never real. ever since this story broke, people have been asking, was te'o the victim or the perpetrator of this hoax? for the first time, te'o is telling his side of this story, as he prepares for the nfl draft in florida. we start with matt gutman. >> reporter: good morning, dan and bianna. manti te'o says it was a cruelly intricate hoax. that he believed he was in love with this woman. and then, was diagnosed with leukemia. all of this spanning four years, hundreds of hours of phone
4:31 am
conversations. it even involved accomplices. for the first time this morning, manti te'o setting the record straight. >> for the record, once again, were you in any way a part of this? >> no. never. >> reporter: the star notre dame linebacker, in hiding since the news of the so-called catfish hoax broke, confessing to our sister network, espn's jeremy schaap. >> i knew it was crazy that i was with somebody that i didn't meet. and let alone, people find out that this girl who died who i was so invested in, i didn't meet her, as well. so, i kind of, you know, tailored my stories to have people think that, yeah, he met her before she passed away. so that people wouldn't think that i was some crazy dude. >> reporter: she was lennay kekua, who he called the love of his life, before announcing to the world, she died of cancer
4:32 am
the same day his grandmother passed away. she was the alchemy of one man's imagination. several links in the information superhighway, would lead to this man. the woman claiming to be kekua, nearly three months after her alleged death. >> said it's lennay. and so, we carried on that conversation. and i just got mad. and i just went on a rampage. how could you do this to me? i ended that conversation by saying simply this. you know what? lennay, my lennay died on september 12th. >> reporter: now, abc news did not reach him for comment. we still don't know what motivated him to do this. manti te'o says he didn't believe this was a lie until three days ago, when he called him to apologize.
4:33 am
dan? bianna? >> all right. matt gutman, our thanks to you. and espn's jeremy schaap was the only reporter to sit down with manti te'o and speak with him exclusively. you spent 2 1/2 hours with manti. this was an audio interview. can you tell us what his demeanor was like? >> i was very impressed throughout our interview. he was very composed, collected. he never hesitated. he answered every question i asked. we were in there, i think you said, 150 minutes. by one count back at our office, he was asked more than 300 questions in that time. he never demurred. >> you sat with him for 2 1/2 hours. did you walk away with the impression that he was part of this hoax? or he was purely the victim of the hoax? >> he convinced me he was not party to this hoax. people will have to make their own judgment, once they read a
4:34 am
lot of material from the interview that we're posting online and presenting on shows today on espn. but you know, there were certainly occasions on which he admitted to misleading reporters over the course of the last few months. he said that he had lied to his father about meeting lennay kekua in person. and those were some of the discrepancies, some of the conflicts that people pointed to over the last few days. and i think he went a long way toward explaining some of those discrepancies. but probably not to the satisfaction of everyone. >> and, jeremy, he may have explained some of the discrepancies. but you have to admit, this is such a bizarre story. what happens to him next? will he be drafted by the nfl? or will teams shy away from him now? >> well, there's no doubt that
4:35 am
manti te'o is going to be drafted. and i think there's little doubt he'll be drafted in the first half of the first round. whether he will be a top three or four pick, as he was projected by some to be -- i mean, if his story is out there, and people believe his story, it will not affect his draft position. he will be a millionaire very soon. and even if some of those nfl executives don't believe it fully, he'll still be a millionaire very soon. >> jeremy schaap, with the first exclusive interview with manti te'o, at the center of a big controversy this morning. jeremy, a big thank you to you. >> helps explain a lot of things. people are wondering who knew what and when? >> i think the next shoe to drop is when the young man, the perpetrator of the hoax. if he comes out and speaks, that will explain a lot. time for a check of the weather and over to ginger. hey, ginger.
4:36 am
